HOW BEN. EUTLER GOT RICH.
Young Men OF To-day May do Likewise
If Thcy Follow Advice Given.

General B. F. Butler being asked for some
suggestions on gaining success, stated that
when he young lawyer, practicing IN
Lowell, Mass, bank president advised IN
20 take his little deposit and buy real estate
from which he could be deriving some
revenue The General said that be had but
little money and was uncertain as to his fu-
ture.

bid off a lot with building of some sort on
it, pay down what money you have and give
your promsSory notes for the balance. You
will come out all right"
General Butler SAYS this advice was good.
When man has obligated himself, by his
notes, to pay money at a certain time. it IN
clines him to economy. He followed the adj
vice, and in time became the owner of sew
eral parcels of valuable real estate in Lowell
Two classes will not be likely to heed such
advce-the improviCent and the over-cau-
tious. The latter will be apt TO say: 1t

There is this danger, of course but one can
make no business venture without some risk
and with the knowledge acquired by recent
Investigations of the cause of most ordinary
ailments and the means of cure one runs
little risk from that source. 1t is now known
that most of the common ailments
have their origin in deranged kidneys. They
are the chief blood purifiers of the system and
when disordered a breaking down some

which in their healthy condition is elimin-

c. D. Dewey, successful man, president
of the Johnston Harvester Company,
Batavia, n. Y, gives his experience as fol-

Climate 1nnuenco on Cheese.

While quality is conferred upon cheese
Nv care and skill i'll making, and by its
contents of fat, there are some other
causes for the variation in quality. Soil
and climate have something to do with
quality, for they control, to some extent,
the character of the heritage, and I'M
doubtedly food has much to do with the
flavor of its products. The flesh of ami
mails acquires certain qualities from the
feed. Southdown mutton, fed upon the
rich herbage of the ''downs," or billy
seaside pastures on the chalk districts of
Southern England, and the tender, high
favored meat of the Welch mountain
sheep, are examples of this fact.
The hams of Westphalia, fed
1pon the mast Of the forests, also
have a most agreeable flavor. The wines
of some vineyards surpass those of all
others in richness of flavor, and the
hops Of certain localities surpass all 9TH
ers in desirable qualities. Consistently
with these analogous facts, it cannot be
doubted that the pasture, which is
affected by soil and climate, has some
effect upon the character of dairy
products. But the expert and expert
cnccd dairyman may make up for all de-
fects in these respects by good culture,
fertilizing, and the growth of such crops
as will afford every necessary element in
the food for the production of good
milk, and by such skill in the manipula-
ton as will produce the very best quail
ity in the butter and cheese made from

Farm AND GARDEN.
KeepinR Fruit.


The great secret for preventing decay
IN fruit through autumn and winter is to
preserve uniformly low temperature.
r changing and fuctuating, they
.uickly rot. Currents of air are bad,
because they make changes in temper
ature. We find that apples keep longer
in winter by merely wrapping each
specimen in tissue paper and thus ex-
ciuding air. Hence the advantage of
packing in any soft, powdered
substance as dry sawdust,
bran. ground plaster, or bedding
in moss. On large scale this cannot
be done and large fruit rooms must
therefore be kept cool without changes of
air. Much may be accomplished by
ventilating windows, admitting cold air
in the night, and excluding warm air in
the daytime by closing them. These
remarks apply more particularly to ap-
pies and pears, and also to grapes.
They would also apply to small and
perishable fruits, if it were an object to
keep them, but the common practice is
to consume them while fresh. Country

In graperies under glass the vines are
usually planted in a rich border outside
of the building, and the vine brought
in through an opening in the front wall
under ground. Though the roots are in
the cold ground outside, the branches
inside, if the house is heated, it will
grow and fruit during the coolest
weather In winter.
These instances show that it is the
heat of the air that brings forward veg
citation and not the heat of the ground,
and that those who place litter over the
snow to keep it from melting or who
heavily mulch round the roots of trees in
early spring to retard their poisoning
and preserve from early frosts,
get their trouble for nothing, as those
mulched and unmulched will blossom at
the same time, it depending entirely
on the heat of the weather or the air.
Many experienced horticulturists, no
doubt, know these facts, but the great
mass Of the people do not-hence the
reason why we write Witness.

Retarding Trees to Escape Frost.

1t has been generally supposed that by
planting an orchard or vineyard on the
northern slope of hillside it would re-
tard the time of Towering, while by
planting on the southern exposure it
would accelerate.
If this has any effect it is trifling in
comparison with that Of the heat of the
air. True, tree planted on the south
side of building or fence in sheltered
exposure will blossom earlier, but that
IS from the reflected heat from the wall
heating the air, and has the greater
effect the nearer to the wall it is placed.
We have plum tree planted in cold,
damp ground, within four feet of the
south side of frame barn. The
branches growing towards the barn bios
som a week or ten days before those
growing in the opposite direction. The
same effect is shown by peach tree
nearby.

couple of inches of the southwestern

ripens its fruit ten days earlier when

Feeding Buttermi1k to Pigs.

ButtermiIk is a highly heterogeneous
food, containing, as it does, about one
part nitrogen and two parts carbon, the
proportion of nitrogen being twice as
much as necessary for proftabl feeding,
that is, TO feed it without waste. Corn
meal, on the other hand, is highly car
bonaceous, containing eight to nine
parts carbon to one part nitrogen. 1t
IS at least twice as carbonaceous as it
should be for feeding growing pigs, just
as buttermilk is too heterogeneous.
Now due admixture of these two
leeds will properly balance the ration
and secure the greatest economy both in
preventing waste and providing the
greatest amount of nutriment. In feeding
pigs at the Wisconsin agricultural ex-
perimental station the rule has been to
allow one pound of corn meal to every
gallon of buttermilk This serves the
ration still strong in the heterogeneous
clement necessary to promote growth.
As the pigs advance in size and fat is
more desirable than growth, more corn
meal is added. This makes the food
more carbonaceous and causes the hogs
TO lay on more fat.
In some experiments made at the
Massachusetts agricultural experimental
StatiUn-cOunting corn meal at $28 per
ton and buttermilk at Is cents per 100
pounds-it was found that pound OF
pork, fed at first on slop made of IL
ounces of corn meal for every gallon of
buttermilk, cost but 4. 6 cents; but that
after gradually increasing the corn meal
until it reached within a fraction of two
pounds of the meal to each gallon of the
buttermilk, the cost of making pound
of pork amounted to 5.73 cents. This
latter was in the coolest part of the win
ter, and it was thought that the differ

Discipline the Eve.

A very good way to discipline the
mechanical eye is to first measure an
inch with the eye, then prove 1t with
rule. then measure a half-inch, then
an eighth, and so on, and you will soon
be able TO discover at a glance the
difference between a twelfth and
sixteenth of an inch; then go to three
inches, six, twelve and so on. Some
call this guessing; there is no guess
work about it. 1t is measuring with the
eye and mind. Acquire the habit of
criticising for imperfcctions every piece
of work that you see; do everything as
nearly as you can without measuring (or
spelling iD, or as nearly as you can
trust the eye with its present training.
If you cannot sec things mechanically,
do not blame the eye for it; it is no more
to blame than the mouth is because We
cannot read, or the fingers because we
cannot write. a person may write very
good hand with the eyes closed, the
mind, of course, directing the fingers.
The eve is necessary, however, to detect
imperfections. Every operation in life
requires mechanically trained eye, and
we should realize more than we do the
great importance of properly training
that organ.
